GAME PREVIEW

vs. UCLA, Saturday, Feb. 14

at Arizona State, Sunday, Feb. 22

IN FOCUS
If the Wildcats want to show they're serious in the Pac-10, they must get over the hump against UCLA. Their 83-60 loss at Pauley Pavilion last month was their worst in the series since before coach Lute Olson arrived 25 years ago. Arizona lost just 68-66 to the Bruins at McKale Center last season, but has dropped eight straight in the series, a streak unmatched since losing 11 in a row through 1984.

ROSTER REPORT

--C Jordan Hill, who entered Thursday's game averaging 18.3 points and 11.5 rebounds -- one of the top candidates for Pac-10 Player of the Year -- suffered an ankle injury with 12:08 left in the first half. He came down on the foot of USC's Leonard Washington after grabbing the rebound from DeMar DeRozan's missed free throw. Hill stayed on the ground for a couple of minutes and left for the training room, but he returned to the game with 10:58 to go in the half to great applause -- and relief -- from the home crowd. He played the entire second half but wasn't 100 percent.

--F Chase Budinger, who has been determined to get to the rim more often in the past several games, scored 25 points against USC. He is averaging 22.2 in his past five games.

--Arizona, which doesn't have a head coach or a signed prospect for next season, is still recruiting through the efforts of assistant coach Reggie Geary, who figures to have the best chance of being retained after the school hires a coach after the season. Geary landed a commitment Thursday from Tremayne Johnson, a 6-foot-7, 200-pound forward from Los Angeles Southwest Community College, according to goazcats.com. Johnson can't sign yet, though, and the new coach will have to make his own evaluation.

The Wildcats will open their season Sunday against NAU. I, for one, am totally stoked.

It seems like it has been forever since that ugly loss in the Sweet 16 to Louisville. It will be good to get an official win under our belts and literally start the new regime under Sean Miller.

Before the real (i.e. college) season gets off and we ignore the NBA for a few months, I felt a post on Chase Budinger was in order.  As a Houston based Wildcat, I now have a reason to watch the Rockets.  Budinger is getting 20-25 minutes a game and raising eyebrows with his skills.  Without the pressure of being 'the man', he has fit beautifully into the Rockets scheme and ...(more)

Is like a chameleon. And not in a good way. I figure that eventually they'll become more structured and consistent but right now it's ugly out there. My guess is they're going to have a tough time against the Badgers next week.

The perimeter defense looks good right now, but the interior defense is pretty vulnerable. Horne is just about the only guy doing it well down there.

(POLL) Okay, so this isn't all inclusive of Monday, as I didn't even touch the Mauii Invitational yet. I will probably do a full preview of the Mauii instead of just a quick grab like the rest of this preview.

A lot of non-sense, fine tune your team games this weekend. But I'm really intrigued by the Oregon/Portland and Stanford/Virginia games.

What are you more interested in?

I don't think I even made it down to one contest last year. It was nice getting back into McKale, though that "ARIZONA" beneath the block "A" seems kind of redundant and the missing cactus was disturbing.

As for the team, let's just say we should all be very happy if it makes the tournament this year. Parrom was the biggest surprise for me. He's playing tough and

Rankings are only for games through Sunday 11/15. So UCLA's loss on Monday isn't accounted for.
So even if UCLA has a huge win against CAL State-Bakersfield, they will likely take a drop in the polls because of their earlier l

I wonder if Hosh still thinks Arizona was better off last year without this guy. Doesn't seem like a ball-hog to me.

Corey Williams is still feeling out the color analysis but it's pretty clear at this point that he's not repeating the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over again. Thank you Bob Elliot for not being on my television anymore.

So the season starts in just a few weeks (HOORAY!), so I figured it would be a good time to start sign-ups for non-conference Pick 'Em.

If you are interested in doing the PAC-10 Pick 'Em for non-conference play, just reply to this thread. We will do a non-conference champ, a conference champ, and full-season as well. Additional sign-ups for conference play only will begin a few weeks be

I haven't had an opportunity to track individuals picks yet, heck I haven't even looked at all the win/losses for the first two weeks. But I'll get there. LOL Been extra busy with the local CC athletics lately. But I'll get 'em in.
